As someone who cooks often - and starts from scratch as often as possible, I was thrilled to hear about a shop that specialized in one or 2 of my main ingredients. The shop is very nice - as basic as it gets ('cause what else do you need but vats of olive oil at an olive oil store?) but really well appointed, open, friendly, and comfortable.
The staff has always been helpful. The Butter Olive Oil has become a staple, as I'm allergic to milk but can use this oil with out worry. Not to mention the flavor is amazing.
I'd recommend anyone who cooks often or takes thier food prep seriously to stop in. If you'd like to be more daring with your flavors or are a "timid" cook, they are great at offering pairing and suggestions.
I was surprised at the prices too, Olive Oils and good vinegars can be pricey, but thier prices seemed very reasonable for the quality you get. read more
